The Possibilities Project (TPP) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is reimagining pediatric care delivery to improve health outcomes, enhance experience and meet the future health needs of children and families. We’re solving some of pediatric healthcare’s biggest problems by:
- Supporting and accelerating innovative ideas
- Harnessing the power of quality improvement and data analysis
- Leveraging our strong pediatric care network
Our process
Our innovative process allows us to identify, test and scale projects across CHOP’s Care Network. During the learning and testing cycles, our researchers develop a theory about which problems are preventing progress. That theory then becomes the blueprint we use to develop and apply solutions.
What we offer
TPP projects are often initiated by the CHOP staff who face pediatric healthcare challenges every day. By partnering with TPP, you will gain access to several resources, including:
- Assistance in defining the problem
- Support in developing a value proposition
- Help implementing an established idea-creating process
- Mentorship and guidance
- Metrics of success and failure
- Support in developing a business model
I have benefitted tremendously from the opportunity to collaborate with TPP. Through this partnership, we have implemented universal screening for common sleep problems at all well child visits in the CHOP Care Network. This partnership has given me the chance to work across clinical settings and teams more efficiently and effectively. In addition, this partnership has resulted in additional funded projects that build upon this foundational sleep screening work. Working with TPP has been a wonderful experience for me, both professionally and personally.
